Topic: Information Security

Security and compliance teams both strive to design, establish, and enforce controls to protect an organization. But even with shared goals in place, security and compliance teams often manage business risk in relative isolation. So how can these teams set aside tension and work better together to create a winning alliance?

In this session, we explore the key differences between security and compliance initiatives. It’s crucial to understand that being fully compliant doesn’t necessarily mean an organization is fundamentally secure. We’ll cover how the two initiatives complement each other when it comes to minimizing risk and how both teams can collaborate to create efficiencies. Attendees will learn how to leverage compliance policies to set the foundation to a robust information security program, while providing true visibility and coverage, consolidating toolsets, and reducing costs. Lastly, we’ll discuss how to ensure that a successful security program can help organizations prepare for an upcoming audit to ultimately achieve and maintain continuous compliance.

As companies double down on time to innovation, time to market, time to revenue, they are inherently introducing more risk from the inside. The more cloud-based, collaborative, and fast an organization becomes, the greater the Insider Risks posed to its people, technology, and data. The upside is that cloud collaboration tools make employees more productive. The downside is that these same tools make it easier to exfiltrate data. Add the complexities of working from home and off the corporate network; more employees are routinely using unauthorized devices, tools, and cloud-based applications to share files and ideas with colleagues.

Join us to discuss the growing insider risk problem and how the right data protection methods can set security teams up for success, without slowing down company productivity.

Assessing the resilience of your network can dramatically improve your ability to fend off prospective breaches. New applications and services introduce new avenues of attack. Without knowing the potential weaknesses within your network, you cannot successfully defend it.

Join us to hear about:

• how assessments give you the visibility you need to make more informed, data-driven decisions
• how you can prioritize strategic initiatives and obtain budgeting more easily by running assessments
• how certain verticals (education, healthcare, et al.) can benefit from understanding their specific threat landscapes and common industry-wide threats.

During this session we will also cover:

• a firsthand demonstration on how data is collected and processed, and logs are analyzed from your network during an assessment
• contents of a sample findings report and how recommendations can help prioritize your security strategy

Assessment offering:
Schedule an assessment, and you will receive a complimentary Fortinet branded Basecamp Rapids Wireless Speaker. Once the assessment has been completed, will receive a pair of FortiVans (limit 50). Note that SLED customers may not be eligible for giveaway items.

As SOCs have matured, they have employed a number of solutions to combat cybersecurity threats. Traditionally, SOCs have relied on SIEM and EDR tools for their detection and investigation needs. While these tools are critical to security operations, they have their visibility limitations. As such, modern security teams have turned to the network for added detection visibility. Network Detection and Response (NDR) solutions provide the necessary visibility not available in SIEM or EDR solutions and help SOCs complete their security architecture.

In this session, we discuss traditional security architectures and how they are being optimized using NDR into a modern security architecture.

Cybersecurity is hard. Worldwide, billions of dollars are spent each year on cyber prevention and detection, and still, the bad actors breach even the best secured system—and no, I’m not talking about FireEye and SolarWinds in 2020.

Quantum Entanglement is hard to understand, explain, and until recently, hard to prove. Billions of development dollars are spent each year to create reliable and vastly powerful computing platforms—that very soon will change the landscape of encryption as it has been known.

Which is more complex, why does it matter, and how are they related? With wit, humor, and storytelling, Christopher Paidhrin, the CISO for City of Portland and past president of ISSA Portland, will provide you with one or more answers.

Alongside the rise of today’s dynamic workforce, the speed and scale of sophisticated cyber-attacks are rapidly increasing. As the cybersecurity industry continues to endure an ongoing skills shortage, over-worked and under-resourced teams urgently need augmentation in order to defend against evolving, sophisticated threats.

For over three years, Darktrace experts have been working to meet this challenge, investigating whether they could teach AI to think like a cybersecurity analyst. It takes subtle, nuanced skills and implicit knowledge for an analyst to detect genuinely threatening activity, and the creation of the world-first Cyber AI Analyst took analyzing over one hundred of the world’s top threat analysts and complex machine learning algorithms. Join Darktrace as we discuss the Cyber AI Analyst in action.

In our journey through this session, we take you through the evolution, goals, and motivation of the Dark Web. We will share with you what and whom you can find on the platforms as well as the major conflicts individuals face while exploring this web. The session also exposes you to the syndicates and structures running on the platforms. Surprisingly, we see how those groups were among the first to embrace and implement Blockchain technology and created a major global demand for crypto currencies. This is the time to listen, learn, and be exposed to the deepest secrets of the Dark Web.

Secure access service edge has quickly emerged as a hot topic in cybersecurity, but what exactly does it mean and why should organizations care? As cloud migration, BYOD adoption, and remote work have skyrocketed in prevalence, it has become increasingly apparent that organizations need to think differently about security. While legacy tools like firewalls are no longer equipped to handle the modern IT ecosystem, SASE platforms are built for this exact moment.

In this presentation, you will learn:

• The core components SASE
• The functionality you need to secure cloud, web, and remote access use cases
• Architectural considerations for SASE platforms
